Great track. McCluskey should have nudged off "Big Town" or "Walk Tall" in favour of this, IMO.

Nice to read you agree with my comment here! Yes, "Sugar Tax" really is a masterpiece of an album and each track on it also had the potential to be a single-release. I loved this one from the first time I had listened to it (in 1991). And still today I could almost even cry while listening to "All that glitters"... I've a got a lot of good memories which come to my mind while listening to OMD-tracks from that period... The videos from the "Sugar Tax-singles" were very great, too!

A very beautiful and fine song. In my eyes the "Sugar Tax-album" and all the "Sugar Tax" related singles and maxi-releases define the climax of OMD. I know that there are different opinions about that question, but I like the "Sugar-Tax-album" most of all. Somehow to compare with Depeche Mode's "Violator" and Pet Shop Boys' "Very". Milestones in synthie-pop history.

This is one of my fave OMD 'B-Side' songs. Love the lyrics - very thought provoking. :)

sometimes bands cut songs when they share the same sounds as another track on the album. Although this is a unique song, it does share some synthesizer patches with "Walk Tall". etc.

more info: this is a very rare song from the great "sugar tax session" but the song did not make the cut- why why why? this is such a great hopeful song. it sounds light a slow version of speed of light and seven seas.

Thanks for this! "Area" is my favourite OMD song. Even something more than favourite. It has got a magical power. When I listen to "Area", I feel,that the time stops, all bad things disappear and happines only is all around. I use to listen to this song several times every day.
